Those seem....pretty possible to me. You find some but not all of these in the apps I checked today.
Well it just goes to show everyone's different. I don't think I'm going to be any help on most of your must-haves.

I never highlight or annotate and have little to no use for bookmarks so haven't put much effort into comparing those features. However, all the reading apps I have allow bookmarking via one or two taps. If only one tap in top right corner is acceptable then Pocketbook, Moon+, UBReader, Mantano work for me.

I care a lot about internal CSS being honoured so find Mantano, Pocketbook excellent and UBReader, Gitden not too bad. But the latter two don't really have as much configuration as I'd like. I could also live with FBReader if I had to. For CSS I find Moon+ too frustrating for words unless Preview mode is used. However, Preview mode's forced page-scrolling rather than page-turning and no TTS, means I rarely use Moon+ except when having discussions like this one. I wish I liked it more because its developers seem to be very proactive.

In general I can't say I've had much trouble paging back/fwd with either tap or swipe in the apps I've used so I'm not sure I've understood your problem.

Re: line-breaks <br/>, I don't think they're considered well-formed HTML unless they're enclosed within a block tag, e.g. <p>, <div>. Maybe that's why you're having trouble???
